Dear John,
I send you big hugs, wings wrapped around you and much love. I understand exactly how you feel. I understand the pain and sadness that comes from thinking of the babies and children and the horrible things that can happen to them on this earth. I agree that there seems “” to be no rhyme or reason, no justification, no benefit. I will tell you what has helped me come to a better place with all of these things. I hope it helps you to ease your mind and bring you to a better place as well.
It is something that is very hard for many to understand. It would boggle and blow my mind when I would hear stories of mothers putting their 2 yr olds in ovens and leaving them there to die so painfully. I could not get the images, the stories, how the children must have felt, what they must have been thinking out of my head. It would stay with me for days, months and years only to be replaced by another horrible story and situation. After speaking with Joanie and doing some reading on my own as well, I decided to choose. I know it doesn’t change what is happening in the way you want it to, but I decided to choose to believe that these things happen for a reason, for the growth of the soul, because of the soul’s plan. I am choosing this for my answer. The main reason I chose this for my answer is because it serves the child, the family, the world better when I stop the focusing on such horrible ideas. These stories bring not only terrible images, but horrible feelings. Your energy changes. It becomes negative. Then the people you (I don’t mean you in these yous…but people in general) interact with take that energy and pass it on to the people they connect with. This does not serve the child/children you were upset about in the first place and does not serve the child or children/adults who actually come into contact with you. Did you ever have a dog? When you are sad, a dog will come to you comfort you (most animals will). It will be sad with you. It will stop bouncing around, joyfully kissing your face to just sit by your side and absorb your energy until you are feeling better. So, just thinking about energy exchange, this is a pretty big change that one creates just by dwelling on the sad feelings and bad stories, not to mention the things we say and do or don’t do when we are feeling so horribly. When I chose to believe that this was that soul’s path, then I was able to stop the negative energy from flowing and getting stronger and I was then able to start manifesting positive energy and healing for myself, other children and the planet. With positive energy, you can bring positivity and love to the people around you and they are then able to bring the same to the people around them and I believe this flow of positive energy can change things not just for yourself and the people around you but other children who might need this positivity to help them along their paths and our Earth as well.
I know that you want to help, you want to change these things and make sure they don’t happen to another little soul ever again. It might not seem like a lot right now, but there are some things you can do. You can meditate on love. You can spread love and kindness wherever you go, to whoever you talk to, you can sponsor a child and hope that your money goes to helping that child get food, you can volunteer/send money to a soup kitchen. You can buy fair trade food and be happy that the extra money you spend on those bananas help ensure that people and their children are getting a living wage for the work they do. Take solace in what you can do. Take pride in the good you are creating because you are changing your corner of the world and now the people around you are learning from you and changing their little corners too.
You are a great person, full of love and a great teacher. You have so much to offer everyone around you. I am always happy to see you here and read your thoughts and learn from you. I do not know much more about you, but understand you you are in a lot of physical pain. I will say one more thing about focusing on these things that happen in this space and time…mental pain and negativity will always feed physical pain and negativity. I say this only because I used to have much physical pain…and saw how my mental state affected my physical state. Take it easy on yourself. I am not telling you that you have to believe in what I have chosen to believe, but maybe you can find your own belief system that will help ease your mind, help you to remain positive. There is a yin and yang to everything. I believe Buddhism teaches that it is through horror that true compassion is learned and it is only then that true love may be experienced and shared. True love for people, animals, this Earth. I like to imagine a loving pink ooze (a better smelling and tasting pepto-bismal), making its way all around the universe. It doesn’t happen as fast as we might like, and doesn’t end all suffering as quickly, but this positive and loving pink ooze is slowly making its way and soon it will cover the country, the world, the Universe.
I sincerely hope this helps, John. Please know that I understand exactly how you feel and only say these things because I am now learning them as well. I hope I have not offended you by saying any of this (or the looooong amount of time it has taken me to say it!).
I wish you all the best my friend and send you much love.
Julie
